Flight 93 memorial. Not fun, but a great, humbling experience and maybe only 15-20 min from the turnpike.

If you're moving west to east and looking for a gun shop to throw in the mix.. might want to check out Grice Gun Shop in Clearfield, PA.
We usually stop in there when we're in the area for rifle deer season. Pretty significant sized shop with a lot to look through. Enjoy the Keystone State. Its a great place with a lot of beauty, especially across the center of the state. |

About an hour South of Pittsburgh stop & check out Fort Necessity National Battlefield, Washington’s Tavern & Braddock’s Grave for some pretty interesting French & Indian War history.
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water is also in the same area. If neither of those sound interesting Ohiopyle State Park is pretty nice. |

Falling Water is already on the SO's list, so we will definitely be stopping there.  Have you been? I'm curious about the various tours they offer, as opposed to general admission.

Looks like your route is south of NEPA.
Scranton actually has some gems if you are so inclined. Not all in downtown; some out in the surrounding areas. So if you detour this way let me know. |

Whitewater rafting at Ohiopyle, Pa.
Cycle the Rails to Trails from Delmont to Saltsburg and fish at Loyalhanna. Lynn Run The Blue Angels will have an F-22 with them at Latrobe Airport May 21 & 22. Discounts for .mil and kids under 10 are free. Triangle Subs in Swissvale has great sandwiches but it's in the hood. Kennywood is fun, same with sandcastle. The Bantam Jeep Festival (June 10-12) is really worth checking out , even if you aren't an enthusiast. The Jeep Invasion in Butler, Pa would be perfect for a passerby like yourself; it's free if you dont mind a bit of a walk and will shed new light on the expression "Its a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand". Bushy Run Battlefield is beautifully terrifying when you can stand there and put it into perspective. Gettysburg Battlefield is not much different. Rousch Creek and Doe Valley. Fort Ligonier FFL's Johnson's Gun Depot had a great selection but staff is hit or miss. A&S Indoor Pistol Range in Youngwood is a small, but cool, place with a decent selection and great staff. Josh and Dave are great guys. If your feeling brave, Braverman Arms in Wilkinsburg is an interest experience and gives you an appriciation for the name. There is a class III rental place in Mt. Pleasant, Pa but the name escapes me at the monent. Driving south on I-279 into Pittsburgh through the tunnels into the city is one of the more beautiful views of a city you'll ever see. Final thoughts: Take Route 30, not I-76, if you want to see the state. I-99 corridor is a nice drive and takes you to where the Little Leauge World Series is played. IDPA matches at Pitcarin Monroeville Sportsmans Club are family friendly and fun. ETA: I see the weekends are taken up so events are pretty much out. |

It's not a bad little shop and all the "But here, pay here" lots are a really nice show of culture and tradition. You used to be able to get the newest, freshest stolen sneakers from the barber shop just across the street. You can also try the exquisite cuisine at the Kentucky Fried Taco Hut, and the EBA (East Busway express) is always good for cheap entertainment. Sometimes I miss the hood, lol. Bravermans is a nice shop, but very small with a limited selection. If OP gets back before the ice caps melt, I might be able to give him a few more ideas and events to look into. We just had the Blessing of the Bikes here last week, another cool enthusiast event. The Railroad Museum of PA is another neat place to check out, too. I also know a lot of good places to eat. |

Ditto this; the science center is overwhelmingly geared towards kids. They do adult themed things from time-to-time; not enough there to hold an adult's interest currently (I have inside knowledge). MrBear10mm, you lucked out last time you went there. The Warhol Museum is worth a go if you're going to the north side.

If you are going to Grice Gun Shop, you may want to go to Woolrich, PA too. It;s a quaint factory town a very short drive off 220, with a outlet store.
http://www.visitpennstate.org/member/woolrich-store-the/ One of the Harley Davidson Factories is in York, PA. http://www.harley-davidson.com/content/h-d/en_US/home/events/factory-tours/yorkpa.html Pretty neat to be there at shift change on a nice day and watch the workers head out of the parking lot for the day. If you are heading to Gettysburg, there is a real nice Civil War museum that is associated with the Smithsonian located in Harrisburg. http://www.nationalcivilwarmuseum.org/ Some of the pretzel, chip and chocolate factories can be interesting and fill a few hours fairly inexpensively too. Snyder's and Utz are in Hanover. Hershey is in Hershey of course and Mars in in Elizabethtown. There are a lot of smaller facilities in the area too. http://www.snydersofhanover.com/our-story/bakery-tour.html http://www.utzsnacks.com/utz-factory.html http://www.hersheys.com/chocolateworld/chocolate-tour Not sure what part of VA you are from but if you don't have a Wegman's Supermarkets in your area, you may want to visit one. If you are familiar with them, you may want to stop by too! :) |

If you have any intrest in Blackpowder then Dixon's Muzzleloader shop in Kempton is a must.
Kempton is a few miles east of Cabela's on rt 78. It is a wonder world of Blackpowder arms and supplys. I would also suggest going a little out of the way to Easton Pa. Sarco is located in Easton and it is certainly an experience for the firearms and parts it has. Plus just a hundred yards or so away is Heritage guild, they have a nice indoor range and rent guns including full auto. |

Your recommendations have something in common, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
These are some great ideas, thanks. After a few days of "car time family togetherness", I think I'll need an adult beverage or two. |

If he winds up going to Grice's (and why would he not?  ) then it's a short drive to St. Marys which has the Straub Brewery too.The Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg is pretty neat too, and not too far from the Mount Nittany Winery, and keeping with the adult beverage theme. |

Into the trip now. Stopped today at Grice's Gun Shop. They have a few guns in there.
A couple of rifles almost followed me home, but I settled for a few pounds of powder. Grice's is definitely going on the stop list for all future trips. Thanks for the recommendation. |
